Whoever hates wrong turned title on spine - french one can look forward to buy steelbook where title will be as it is in majority steelbooks.

This film deserves a premium release. Long been ignored.

Hopefully this is a sign that it is coming to the UK too.

It’s just a repack of the NSM Mediabooks.

Ahh thought it would be the same as the upcoming French one.

I thought you meant the discs. In the UK rights are with Arrow Films. Hopefully they will release a 4K re-master sometime in the future.

The German NSM Steelbook seems to be indeed a shared print run with the French edition:

This. But is anyone close enough to Arrow to have any idea whether a 4K is coming soon?

We got Brotherhood of the Wolf in 4K. Now I need this and Kingdom of Heaven in 4K stat!

That looks really nice and clean. What's the finish like?

I like the watercolour look of the front image.
Is it a zero matte?

 

[Dirk69]

@Noodles @TheWildEye
It‘s matte finish. Only a little bit shiny around the soldiers in the middle. Nice effect.

Since this has been on my most-wanted-on-steelbook list for some time, I can't really complain now that it's here. It's a good, though not spectacular, steel. Here is it with the spine turned around and the interior art as it should have been from the start.

There are some tutorials you can find on YouTube to see all the details. Basically, run a hair dryer over the spine several times to loosen the glue, then very carefully slip a knife between the metal plate and the plastic case, and slide the spine off. Remove the excess glue from the metal plate and the plastic case, and then you can turn it around the way it should have been. To change the interior artwork, search online for a still that you like, print it out (I don't find it makes a lot of difference whether it's printed on glossy photo paper or regular paper), then use a template for steelbook interior art, which is usually linked to any of the YouTube videos you'll find. Send me a message if you want more specifics!
